 three hundred common birds of the 

 state and adjacent islands, with a 

 supplementary list of rare migrants, 

 accidental visitants and hypothetical 

 sub-species.

To the resident or visitor, this

 of California and its borders, will

 arranged for easy identification of 

 species and contains maps showing 

 the zones of their distribution. The
